Here's everything we could find about: "VirtualBox"

This is a tutorial on how to get VirtualBox up and running on Fedora 8. If you haven’t yet, add yourself as a “sudoer” by visiting the tutorial this page. Also, this tutorial is for the 32-Bit version of VirtualBox, so you’ll have to customize a little more to get the 64-bit version running (as pointed out in the comments). Everything in the “code” sections should be copy/pasted/typed into the terminal. Right, let’s get to it:

1.) Get the VirtualBox 1.5.4 package from the VirtualBox website for Fedora 8 and install it.

Highlight your virtual machine and click on the “Settings” button. Click on the “Sound” category, and then check the “Enable Sound” option. In the drop-down box, select “PulseAudio”. You should now have sound.

9.) To enlarge an already created VDI or Disk Image:

I plan on making this a little neater, but for right now, I wanted to share the information that I found via the virtualbox forums. A gentleman by the nickname of “gushy” posted these instructions:

*If I may suggest, when I used the script, it really messed up my repositories and such, so I had to install Fedora 8 again and start from ground-up. Use the my-guides link instead to get multimedia and the such.

Misc and My Own Guides:

VirtualBox :

I put together a tutorial on how to get VirtualBox running. It’s located here:

If you’re interested, I’ve put together a tutorial on how I setup my Fedora 8 box to run my own website/server. Follow this link.

Sessions Menu Shortcut:

I wanted to simply add pidgin to a list of startup programs and I couldn’t find the “Sessions” link in the System menu like I was familiar to, so I added a new menu item using the Menu Editor called “Sessions” with the command “gnome-sessions-properties”.

Avant Window Navigator:

This is proving to be a tougher one to install. The main program is easy to install by just using “yum install avant-window-navigator” but “awn-core-applets” are more difficult because of a dependency problem with libwnck-1.so.18 (error message is “Missing Dependency: libwnck-1.so.18 is needed by package awn”). I havn’t figured out the dependency problem yet, but here’s a guide that might help:

In fedora, I missed having the auto complete feature for when I wanted to run a command like “yum install package”. By installing the “bash-completion” package, I’m now able to type tab and it will finish the rest of the command for me (“yum ins[tab] pack[tab]”).
